Hello there,
I play an lpmud called Revenge of the end of the line and I would like to use the status bar as a way to view my hp mana and fatigue in real time and to remove the spam produced by the damaged received.

This is how the mud tells me my current state of my character:

HP: 484/484 Mana: 318/318 Fatigue: 306/306 Exp: 119130

I would like to have this shown in the status bar hopefully with the green / orange / red color displayed by the mud for healthy / damaged / near death.
and also remove the echo of this from the actual mud screen.

If this makes sense.
At the moment I have say #ST {HP: / Mana: / Fatigue: / Exp: } which basically shows me what i want on the status bar but no values, this is the part im stuck at. Please help me.

I have read up on #variables and #triggers but its not that easy for me to grasp as I do not have any experience in programing of any type. I grasp how it should work ( zmud needs to gather the information and store it as a variable and then trigger the status bar to update) but I cannot put this into code :( even after reading the help files. I know it might seems extremely simple for someone who has even the smallest amount of experience but I have absolutely none :(

I use zMUD 7.21, so hopefully this will work for you... This is the first time I've ever given zMUD advice on a forum so any of the more experienced peeps will be able to clean this up if I'm totally off-base.

First, you need to capture the variables from the pattern the mud gives you. You've told us the MUD shows you:

HP: 484/484 Mana: 318/318 Fatigue: 306/306 Exp: 119130

So, how I've done it in my zMUD (and I warn you, I work under the premise of, if it ain't pretty but it works, it's beautiful) is:

I have no idea how to make those coloured the way you want, but at least it should allow you to check the values at a glance along the status bar. I use my status bar to show me how many coins I have, and how much exp I have, and for HP/Mana I use gauges (you should learn how to make gauges, very useful for HP/Mana/Fatigue) I learned how to make gauges at http://www.megami.com/bat_zmudtrigs.php which also has a few other trigger instructions you may find useful.
